Contrary to popular belief, Mars isn’t just a red rock populated by little more than swirling dust – it’s actually the home to a bunch of intergalactic space battles, as evidenced by these brand new Destiny screenshots. Deployed earlier today in order to accompany this week’s much smaller set, the images focus on the...

When the Japanese inspired horror title Kodoku was announced for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, it definitely piqued our interest. And with the reveal of the game's first trailer and screenshots, we are being lured into a terrifying nightmare with no escape. In truth, the Carnivore Studio logo alone is enough to keep us...

Just when we felt that Destiny's allure was slowly starting to fade due to a lack of new information, Bungie has swooped in to save the day with some wonderful new screenshots. It's safe to say that we're absolutely loving the character designs – and the firearms don't look too bad either. Still, we're positively gasping for a new...

If you’re the type of person that sobs like a frazzled Mariah Carey when a miniscule money spider has the indecency to crawl into your peripheral vision, you may not be overly appreciative of this brand new Deep Down screenshot. Revealed by Japanese gaming rag Famitsu, the image shows an armoured warrior –

With a game that’s billed as Bomberman meets the Bride of Chucky, you’d think that Polish developer Bloober Team would be more forthcoming about its upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Basement Crawl. The arena-based multiplayer game was originally pegged as a next-gen launch title, but seems to have slipped into 2014...

nDreams, the awkwardly named developer behind popular PlayStation Home experience Aurora, is hard at work on a brand new PlayStation 4 title – and as part of a New Year newsletter, it has revealed the very first picture of the game. The shot shows a rickety old set of stairs, which appear to be located in a dimly lit underground...

There had been some concern that the next Sleeping Dogs game may be some form of mobile spin-off – but it looks like you can put those worries aside. As part of a clearly staged Christmas photo, developer United Front Games has uncovered an off-screen image of the next title in the kung-fu series – the one that it’s calling Triad...

Basement Crawl is undoubtedly one of the darkest and most bizarre PlayStation 4 exclusives announced yet. And if you don't believe us, try sitting through the previously released teaser trailer without cringing. It makes for tough viewing, that's for sure. What's equally strange, is that all we've seen of...

It's been well over a year since Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, a compilation featuring the studio's seminal PlayStation 2 role-playing games. Fortunately, the Japanese company recently summoned a date for its home nation, confirming that fans will be able to dive back into Spira on the 26th December on both...

Of all the titles set to launch alongside the PlayStation 4 next month, Killzone: Shadow Fall is probably the one that you’re going to want to show to friends. The likes of Knack and even Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag have pretty graphics on the impending next generation machine, but there’s a definite ‘wow’ factor to...

Despite being announced several months ago, we still haven’t really seen much of upcoming PlayStation 4 gloom-‘em-up The Order: 1886. Revealed way back at E3 in June, the release has been subject to platform holder Sony’s newly discovered caginess, which has resulted in virtually the entirety of its next generation...

Snow White looks a shadow of her innocent Disney counterpart in these grotesque Soul Sacrifice Delta sketches. The famous protagonist from the popular fairy tale has been given a torturous makeover for the recently announced re-release, which sees the original demon slayer expanded with hours of brand new content.

While there are a slew of stellar titles set to accompany the PlayStation 4 onto store shelves later this year, we suspect that many of you will be eager to spend launch day merely messing around with the next generation console’s menus. Alas, if November still feels too far away,

The daily drip feed of Grand Theft Auto V information is in full swing. Not content with teasing the title’s multiplayer unveiling, Rockstar Games has launched a travelogue on its website, which is overflowing with the sarcastic sense of humour that you can expect to find in the full adventure. The page – which will be refreshed...

Rockstar Games’ bandwidth busting ways hit a climax today, as the firm decided to deploy an avalanche of Grand Theft Auto 5 screenshots. The images show everything from sun loungers and shades, to Love Fist shirts and quad bikes. There are also pictures of a couple of strippers, military helicopters, and sick (probably stolen)...

We’ve paid Killzone: Mercenary a fair amount of attention over the past few days – and have been itching to give you a closer look at the game. If you haven’t read our hands-on preview just yet, divert your orange peepers through here, and then shimmy back to this page for a brand new batch of screens captured directly from our...

If the summer weather has left you melting like a Popsicle in a microwave, then we recommend steering well clear of these smouldering inFAMOUS: Second Son screens. The images, which publisher Sony coughed up earlier today, show puerile protagonist Delsin Rowe unloading a handful of, er, fiery firepower on a selection of unsuspecting...

Tokyo Jungle Mobile will be taking a trip overseas next week, according to a post by our friends over at PSNStores. The game – which was announced for Japan in Famitsu magazine earlier today – will stalk Sony’s fledgling PlayStation Mobile platform from 10th July. It’ll cost y

Following a brief window of exclusivity with Game Informer magazine, Sony has officially released a fresh batch of inFAMOUS: Second Son screenshots. These show new protagonist Delsin Rowe pouting – and also letting rip on a number of DUP (Department of Unified Protection) operatives. If these are in-game, the title’s shaping up...

In most cases, an image says more than words ever can. That’s particularly true with these brand new Killzone: Mercenary screenshots. We could type out a mini-dissertation explaining why the PlayStation Vita exclusive is shaping up to be the best looking handheld game ever released, but we don’t really need to. One look at...

We didn’t think that Media Molecule could possibly produce a more visually appealing game than LittleBigPlanet, but it’s really excelled itself with Tearaway. The portable platformer – which is set to deploy on the PlayStation Vita in October – takes place in a papercraft world, and judging by...

We're not sure whether this is a coincidence, or another example of Sony's petty internal tussles. Evolution Studios has deployed a batch of brand new screenshots for its upcoming PlayStation 4 title DriveClub. The fact that Gran Turismo 6 was revealed at a swish event at Silverstone earlier this week probably has nothing to do...

Rockstar Games must have Grand Theft Auto V’s finish line firmly in its sights by now, and it appears to be celebrating with lots of new media. Hot on the heels of last week’s triple trailer, the developer has released a bunch of new vehicular-flavoured screenshots from its impending open world opus. You’ll be able to take the...

Rockstar’s not just shooting for the stars with Grand Theft Auto V – it’s targeting the unexplored void that lingers beyond them. The ambitious publisher has lifted the embargo on its latest open world opus this afternoon, and we’ve gobbled up the details more ravenously than a meal...

Maintaining its habit of being as inconvenient as humanely possible, Rockstar has deployed a batch of brand new Grand Theft Auto V screenshots. Yup, looks like that’s our Pot Noodle put on hold for the next ten minutes, doesn’t it? The kettle had just finished boiling, too.

Developers should know not to upload screenshots prior to a big announcement – someone will always find them. These shots of Battlefield 4 were discovered by a slew of NeoGAF users on the series' official website. We’re guessing that they weren’t supposed to trickle free just yet. Whoops.
In truth, there’s not a whole lot...

As an award winner and an all-around high-flier, FuturLab must have faced a few headaches when it decided to remake the excellent Velocity for PlayStation Vita. “How can we possibly improve upon perfection?” is a question that we imagine got tossed about a lot during early brainstorming sessions. Thankfully, it...

It turns out that there is a sound that topples One Direction’s latest record in the awful audio stakes. Sony has released a brand new two minute gameplay video from The Last of Us, which introduces a fresh enemy type known as Clickers, advanced infected beings which are blind and basically bloody terrifying. They use echo location...

It's been a long time since we learned anything about Grasshopper Manufacture's upcoming PlayStation 3 action title, Killer Is Dead. The game was announced in April last year, but has been kept under wraps for the past eight months. Thankfully, that's changed this week, courtesy of a Famitsu magazine exposé.
The report, translated...

After almost four years of development, ACE Team’s first-person brawler Zeno Clash 2 is set to pick a fight with the PlayStation Network this spring. Co-founder Carlos Bordeu confirmed the title’s tentative release window on the game’s official forums, adding that it’s too early to pin a specific date down.
If the title’s...

Square Enix has revealed some brand new screenshots from the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX. The remastered compilation – featuring Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days – was announced back in September, and will include full Trophy sup

While you’ll certainly be spending plenty of time on dry land in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, it also looks like you’ll be in for some aquatic activities, too. Rockstar Games has opted to celebrate the impending holidays with a batch of brand new screenshots focusing on a bathysphere and a great...

Tecmo Koei has finally decided to furnish us with some screenshots of its upcoming PlayStation Vita fighter Dead or Alive 5 Plus. While the images look great, we can’t help but feel that they look a little too great. After all, it’s not like publishers are always honest about the appearance of their games.
Alongside the suspicious...

We’re not sure that we understand Konami these days. The publisher seems committed to completely mismanaging every one of its non-Metal Gear and Pro Evolution Soccer brands. Take the recently announced Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 as an example. Despite being the sequel to a surprisingly popular PS3 adventure, the publisher is...

Typically you can count on a rogue cog in the gaming press to leak super secret screenshots, but publisher Rockstar Games likes to do things a little bit differently. The company is giving away neat little keychain viewfinders alongside pre-orders for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, which include screenshots of locations from the hotly...

Online MMO Final Fantasy XIV was originally set to release on the PlayStation 3 way back in 2010 – but after a disastrous PC launch, which essentially required publisher Square Enix to rebuild the entire game, the console port went missing for a while. Two years, to be precise.
With the title’s A Realm Reborn overhaul on...

It feels like Reef Entertainment has been teasing Rambo: The Video Game for years now – and it doesn't look like it'll be stopping any time soon. The publisher has released a brand new screenshot from the mysterious shooter, showing the iconic police station from the conclusion of the first movie. Exciting, huh?
The full game – due...

Beyond last weekend’s reveal, Konami has been frustratingly quiet about Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes – but it has released a handful of high-definition screenshots for you to pore over. Unlike the sub-par captures available elsewhere, these are direct-feed – allowing you to see every crinkle on protagonist Snake’s lived-in face.
The...

Rockstar’s released yet another batch of Grand Theft Auto V screenshots, this time focusing on various vehicles from the game. One image shows a bi-plane hovering over a tranquil river, while another depicts a helicopter being targeted by a crook. There’s also a shot of a sports car engaged in a high-octane police chase, and a picture...

You can always count on Rockstar to turn the day upside down. The publisher has released another batch of Grand Theft Auto V images this afternoon, this time focusing on leisure activities such as tennis and parachuting.
If you missed the last set of screens, you can find them through here. There's still no date attached to the...

SEGA has released a batch of images of some of the members of Yakuza 5's Tojo Clan, including series veterans Goro Majima and Daigo Dojima, as well as three new characters Yuu Morinaga, Masato Aizawa and Minoru Aoyama, which you can see in the screenshots section below.
Goro Majima, also known as 'Mad Dog Majima', made his debut in...

Oh Rockstar, you bunch of sly old dogs. We were just about to take a detour to the kitchen to prepare a scrumptious toasted sandwich, but now we've had to change our plans. See, the publisher's just updated its official website with a selection of farm-fresh Grand Theft Auto V screens – one of which shows a wannabe Bradley...

Looks like Microsoft’s exclusivity deal with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD has finally come to an end. Activision has announced that fresh details about the re-make will be revealed next week, and will be particularly exciting to players “of the Sony persuasion”.
To accompany the tease, Activision also

Video game legend Lorne Lanning is set to make an appearance at this year’s Eurogamer Expo, organisers have announced. The Oddworld Inhabitants gaffer will present fresh details about Just Add Water’s upcoming Abe’s Oddysee HD remake during a developer session at the show.
The panel’s set to kick-off at...

A screenshot allegedly taken from an in-development version of Prince of Persia has emerged online. The image – which popped up on the official Ubisoft forums this weekend – offers a sneak peek at a project called Prince of Persia Zero 2. The title is supposedly related to a failed reboot set in the modern day.
The image shows...

Rockstar Games has warned that it will be a while before it is in a “position to show more of” Grand Theft Auto V – squashing speculation that the open-world opus is set to make a surprise debut later this year.
Speaking as part of a community Q&A, the company explained that it’s “very busy working on the game”...

With the majority of the video game industry locked up for the weekend, we’re once again left hunting the depths of the Internet for marginally interesting summer stories. On our travels throughout the murky underworld, we uncovered this brand new shot of Ubisoft’s hot upcoming title, Watch Dogs.
The image – which shows a populated...

The recently announced Call of Duty: Black Ops II may be taking a slightly different direction to its predecessor, but Treyarch’s trademark zombie co-op mode will still be present. It sounds like the developer is really aiming to flesh out the side campaign, describing it as the “most ambitious zombie effort...

As promised, Japanese gaming bible Famitsu has released the very first images of Grasshopper Manufacture’s new PlayStation 3 title Killer is Dead. The concept shots focus on a futuristic city and an alarmingly tidy office. Seriously, how do people cope with such cleanliness? It makes our skin crawl. Posting in the...

Activision’s released a handful of new screenshots for the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD. The shots show a number of favourite levels from the original PlayStation Tony Hawk titles, including our personal favourite, the School. We’ve been craving some old-school Tony Hawk action for years, so we...

Atlus has confirmed that Persona 4 Arena – formally known as Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena – is heading to PS3 in North America this August. The title – developed in collaboration with Blazblue developer Arc System Works – promises to take the popular Persona universe and transform it into “one of the most unique...

Naughty Dog’s pulled back the curtain on a new batch of screenshots for its upcoming survival horror title, The Last of Us. The shots show protagonists Joel and Ellie exploring a variety of partially demolished urban settings. It’s not all happy hunting for the duo though, as they’re pinned back by an aggressive group of...

Shortly after putting a big bloody bow on the original Dead Space, Visceral Games started work on a new title called The Ripper. The title was being designed for HD consoles – like the PlayStation 3 – and starred London’s most mysterious murderer, Jack the Ripper, working as a vampire hunter. The project was never properly...

Beenox doesn't have the best track-record with Spider-Man games since taking over the franchise a couple of years ago

But there's a real sense that it's had most of its attention on the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man movie tie-in. For many, Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 2 was a watershed moment. The great open-world setting jived well with...

Rockstar's released some new shots of Max Payne 3's multiplayer component for you to feast your eyes on

The publisher's hoping to innovate with the game's online mode, bringing in narrative beats to set the feature apart. The screenshots though, well, they could be mistaken for any other third-person shooter. It all looks a bit bland, doesn't it? Check out the full set on Rockstar's official..

If you're the kind of person that constantly demands more, then this bit of Street Fighter X Tekken news should satisfy you no end

Capcom's released details about the game's alternate costumes — and they are amazing. Instead of changing each character's costume colours, Capcom has instead opted to dress the roster in clothes from other characters in the game. For example, above you'll see a..

Laughing Jackal has served up a couple of fresh morsels about its upcoming PlayStation Mini, Hungry Giraffe

The game is set to be the developer's first foray into the popular "endless climbing genre" and sees a finicky giraffe unimpressed with his current menu. Thankfully the giraffe has a lengthening neck, allowing him to reach delicious...

For many, Team Siren's Gravity Rush is looking like the must-have PlayStation Vita game

The super-stylised gravity-driven platform game not only promises to take advantage of the Vita's multitude of input devices, but its bold cel-shaded art-style also looks custom built to showcase the system's OLED screen. In a batch of new screenshots, Sony's shown off an enormous new futuristic industrial..

Our friends over at TheSixthAxis have managed to nab a few new screenshots from Namco Bandai's PlayStation Vita launch title, Ridge Racer

The screens show a couple of car models, in addition to some in-game gameplay. The environments still look a bit messy, but the vehicles themselves are outstanding. The game's set to launch alongside the PlayStation Vita on December 17th in Japan. Check out the..

We know fans of the franchise absolutely hate what Ninja Theory's shown of its Devil May Cry franchise -- or DmC as we're supposed to call it

But everything we've seen of the game looks nuts. Drumming up our hype is this rad new batch of screenshots, which shows Dante sprinting through an almost Wonderland-esque skyline. "But why's he got brown hair?" There's more screens available..

We probably sound like something of a worn out record when discussing Mass Effect 3's multiplayer component, so we're now going to reserve judgement until we actually play it

While we've been heavily critical of Mass Effect's status as a shooter in the past, we'll refrain further comment until we actually play the latest entry. Because, honestly, being super cynical about video games is one of the..

We love Sony Liverpool's series so much that we get angry if anyone says anything bad about our preferred racing faction. (Assegai for those curious). Needless to say we're hopelessly stoked for the PlayStation Vita's latest Wipeout title — Wipeout 2048. Sony's dropped some new screenshots to celebrate PlayStation Vita's February..

We like a bit of online multiplayer from time to time, but we're primarily single-player people

We enjoy spending time with a great narrative and being involved in a story. So while we think Battlefield 3's multiplayer actually looks pretty cool, it's certainly not the highlight for us. That accolade belongs to the campaign. And when the campaign is as visually stimulating as Battlefield 3, we..

In a batch of new screenshots for Max Payne 3, Rockstar has shown off the moody character clasping weapons in both hands. It's all looking rather dark and gritty. Which we suspect is exactly what fans of the series have been clamoring for.</em>

One of the standout releases in the PlayStation Portable's original catalogue was Lumines

A brand new puzzler — heralded as one of the best since Tetris — Lumines combined fantastic music with a quirky, but addictive, mechanic. And now the series is back to redefine the PlayStation Vita. Originally announced at GamesCom and blown out at the Tokyo Game Show, Lumines (or Lumines Electric..

So much so, we have fond memories of writing into Official Dreamcast Magazine about the 'Resident Evil Tim Henman' in the original Virtua Tennis. It's been a few weeks since EA announced Grand Slam Tennis 2, but the publisher's been keeping a lid on its character models, prompting some concern about their quality. Thankfully, there's..

Earlier today we reported that Sony is looking to completely redefine PlayStation Home as a social gaming platform in the Fall

New genre specific districts will be complimented by a new 'Hub' system — the entrance into PlayStation Home's new world. The aim is to make Sony's digital platform less of a sophisticated chat-room, and more of a...

Far Cry 3 might not be the tranquil experience its environments hint at, but at least the game's packed with colour and vibrancy. Proof that first-person shooters can consist of more than the colour brown. And grey.</em> Joystiq's got the full set of screens.

She was thrilled with all the awards BioShock: Infinite won at E3 earlier in the year, but someone at GamesCom had to be a complete meanie didn't they? Horrible Europeans, why did you have to tell her that BioShock: Infinite is still a year away from release? We think we're going to have a little cry too.

We're still a touch concerned about Silent Hill: Downpour -- it's in development at an unknown studio and we've still seen very little of the game

But one thing we have seen are a host of glorious screenshots, and while they don't reveal much about the game's narrative or mechanics, they at least conclude that the game is looking super pretty. Check out the lighting in the screenshot above — it's..

But that's the whole point; House Of The Dead: Overkill is a nasty, gory on-rails shooter. And it's brilliant. Hot on the heels of yesterday's big blow-out, SEGA's sent us some brand new screens of the upcoming PS3 title. Embedded above is a shot from Overkill's Carnival level. Yes — there are zombies dressed as clowns. We told you this game was..

Something bizzarre's happening with Final Fantasy XIII-2: there's just no enthusiasm

While the original Final Fantasy XIII was certainly a flawed experience, it wasn't so terrible that the sequel should be ignored entirely. And yet despite having a huge showing at this year's E3, few publications took the time to really put the title in the spotlight. Square Enix has released a fresh batch of..

Seriously though, while Koei might not yet have an official name for its PlayStation Vita spin-off of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, it's got a ton of assets. You can grab those over at VG247. The game makes use of the Vita's touchscreen, introducing a new "Godspeed musou" attack which requires you to tap on enemies to slice them up..

There is blood in them. The game is due out on PlayStation 3 in 2012. According Andriasang, the Famitsu report notes that the game is about 30% complete with a 2012 release being targeted. Apparently, protagonist Ryu Hayabusa's right arm plays a central role in the story. It's been possessed y'see. (Note: we're not making this up.) As with..

A. Noire</a>, you might well be on the hunt for a new detective game on PlayStation 3. With a timely announcement, Focus Home Interactive has announced that it's bringing its popular Sherlock Holmes series to the PlayStation 3. The New Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes: The Testament Of Sherlock may be a bit of a mouthful, but the game's promising a new..

We recently played City Interactive's Sniper: Ghost Warrior and thoroughly enjoyed the experience for what it was -- cheap, digestable and fun

As such, we're actually really excited for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2. The sequel is set to use Crytek's CryEngine 3 technology, which should give the original's slightly shoddy visuals a real kick up the bum. If this first screenshot is indicative of the..

Atlus has released the first batch of Catherine screens boasting English sub-titles

The Japanese adventure-meets-puzzle-platformer title tackles a number of adult subjects, including infidelity and responsibility. The game also includes sheep. Lots of sheep.</em> There are more screens over on Joystiq.

That's exactly what most Unreal Engine moden video games lack. Colours. SEGA understands that. Not content with the blistering blue skies of Okinawa in Yakuza, SEGA's still pumping out eye-wateringly bright Sonic games too. Sonic Generations will be no exception. We couldn't be happier.</em>

If you were expecting some brand-spanking, gob-stopping visual enhancements in Mass Effect 3: stop

GameInformer's got the exclusive reveal of the first Mass Effect 3 screenshots, and they look just like Mass Effect 2. In fact, if you didn't tell us otherwise, we'd assume they were DLC. We'd love to post the screenshots here, but we daren't. GameInformer exclusives are scary business. Click

THQ has released the first set of Saints Row: The Third screenshots to outlets not under the label "GameInformer"

The above image caught our eye. It shows a under-dressed lady running away from an exploding police car. In the background there's a dude wearing a luchador mask with a grenade launcher. Sure, why not? We're not overly keen on the game's cartoon visual style. We're sure it will make..

The Sonic cycle may well become a thing of the past this year, as SEGA has officially announced Sonic Generations for the PlayStation 3

The game, which was teased last week, blends an intriguing mix of 2D and 3D Sonic gameplay — a first for the series. As you'd expect, the narrative set-up is utter tripe, with Sonic stuck in weird "time holes". It's a perfect set-up for tossing Sonic..

Remember that alternate-reality Hitman 5 game we told you about the other day? Well now it's kicking up bonafide screenshots

Four of the images reference the Canada's CN Tower — the world's largest free-standing structure. Fans are speculating that this suggests Hitman 5 will be set in Canada. It's the fifth image that is most interesting though. It looks to be a screenshot from a CGI movie,..

One of the best features of Batman: Arkham Asylum was the little Riddler challenges dotted around the world

Batman: Arkham City gives ol' Edward Nigma a bigger role — comparable to that of Jigsaw from the Saw movies. Here's the catch: Nigma's constantly setting Batman puzzles to solve. If you fail to complete them, a resident of Gotham dies. Sound familiar. Yup, it's Saw. Despite us knowing about..

Crystal Dynamics has released some comparison shots for their upcoming PlayStation 3 Tomb Raider Trilogy. The pack — which includes PS2 titles Tomb Raider Legends & Anniversary, in addition to PS3 game Underworld — has been remastered in HD (well the PS2 games have anyway) and is due out at the end of the month.

Perhaps it's our abnormal tennis game-hype that's causing us to flip-out over this shot of a Virtua Tennis 4 court, but we can't help it

ARGH, so amazing. The SEGA Sky is in place. All the screenshot is missing is the SEGA Rock. Do your best to imagine it though, it's not hard. It's like: power-chord - power-chord - riffy melody - chug - chug. Y'know what we mean. By all accounts the..
